U.S. Senate: Grayson confident, but Bailey could enter race

[ccharles000]

As Republicans Trey Grayson and Rand Paul quarrel over who is the true conservative in the Kentucky U.S. Senate race, GOP stalwart Cathy Bailey appears unconvinced by either campaign and might enter the race, herself.

Asked by WHAS11's Joe Arnold if she is now considering entering the U.S. Senate race, the former Ambassador to Latvia under President George W. Bush said she and other conservatives are "watching it closely."

Kentucky Secretary of State Trey Grayson had been widely viewed as the frontrunner in the Republican primary, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is reportedly hosting another fundraiser for Grayson in December.

But, Bowling Green eye surgeon Rand Paul, spurred by libertarian minded supporters of his father, Texas Congressman Ron Paul, has stunned the GOP establishment with more than $1.3 million in campaign cash and a narrow lead in last week's WHAS11/Survey USA poll of the Republican primary.
